Deep dives
Chat GPT's Unreliability Revealed in Student Assignment
In an assignment assigned by a Duke University professor, students used chat GPT to generate essays and then graded their own work, looking for hallucinated information and critiquing the program's analysis. Every single essay included some form of hallucinated information, leading the students to conclude that chat GPT was not a reliable source.
Chat GPT Creates Fake Legal Citations in Lawsuit
A lawyer suing Avianka Airlines used chat GPT to draft the lawsuit and included citations to a dozen supposedly relevant decisions. However, none of the cited cases could be found, as they were all fabricated by chat GPT. The lawyer had to admit in court that the program was an unreliable source for legal research.
Concerns About AI and Creativity
As chat GPT demonstrates its ability to generate false information, concerns arise about its impact on creativity and original thinking. The reliance on AI could stifle creativity and lead to a recycling of existing ideas, instead of encouraging new and innovative thoughts.
The Dangers of Outsourcing Thinking to Chat GPT
Both the student assignment and the lawsuit brief demonstrate the dangers of relying on chat GPT as a reliable source of information. The program's propensity for hallucinating information and generating false citations undermines its usefulness and calls into question its reliability for critical thinking and research.
Offshoring Low Wage Jobs and its Impact on Cities
The podcast episode discusses the phenomenon of domestic offshoring or intro shoring, which involves the migration of low wage jobs from expensive cities like New York and San Francisco to more affordable places such as Orlando and Las Vegas. This shift in job locations has been accelerated in recent years, resulting in significant changes to the US economy and political landscape. The episode highlights the potential consequences of capital leaving big cities, leading to a decrease in their political importance and the concentration of high-end jobs in so-called superstar cities. The episode also emphasizes the increasing economic and geographic divide, which could limit opportunities in lower cost regions and negatively impact social and economic mobility.
The Problematic Term 'Asian American Pacific Islander' and its Implications
The podcast sheds light on the term 'Asian American Pacific Islander' (AAPI) and its origins in US government classifications. The term, which includes diverse ethnicities and cultures such as South Koreans, Cambodians, Guamanians, and Filipinos, has been criticized for its oversimplification and lack of consideration for unique identities and historical rivalries. The episode explores how the term was created for administrative convenience and to ensure access to benefits and tax breaks for certain minority groups. However, it has led to unintended consequences, such as inequities in college admissions and competition between different Asian groups. The podcast also questions the usefulness of collective labels and suggests that individuals should be seen and recognized based on their own stories and backgrounds, rather than being grouped under broad categories.
